He has started FAO experimental
stations in China and in India. He
cited an example in India where
the major food staple, rice, is still
planted, cultivated, harvested and
threshed entirely by hand.
In Japan he discovered a simple
hand-worked machine, brought it
to India and the government there
is turning out thousands of them
for the peasants.

Another Cure for Alcoholism
By Dr. James W. Barton *
Martensen - Larsen, Copenhagen,
Denmark, report the results ob-
tained by antabus in 550 cases up
to December, 1948.
Cases were treated in open wards
in hospitals and were allowed to
pay short visits to their offices and
homes.
“It is important for rapid mental
and social restoration to bring pa-
tients back into their ordinary
lives as soon as possible, so that
they may learn to live non-alcoholic
Ilves among normal drinkers.
“Antabus is cheap and easy to
administer, but it is also easy for
the patient to discontinue treatment
thinking he can stop drinking again
if he takes antabus again. The drug
causes very disagreeable symptoms
—great flushing of face, nausea,
vomiting, dizziness and breathless-
ness.
“These symptoms are so severe
that they prevent persons from
taking alcohol.”
The British “Lancet” states: "So
far no harmful systemic effects on
liver, heart, kidney or blood form-
in gorgan* have been observed: nor
have any untoward effects been
noted."
There has always been some-
thing about the elink of a nick-
el in a phone booth that made
sweet music, and of late it ha*
conveyed unmistakably the
soothing proof that there was
still something in America not
out of reach of a man in the
lower brackets.
Even if you made the call and
found your girl has just left for
dinner with somebody else, it didn't
seem exorbitant. But when it
takes a dime to get the same new*

pressionable reader* that there are

Is clever enough. It is easier in
some ways to win the affection of
someone whom you car* nothing
about than of someone you are
genuinely fond of, sine* wanting
intensely to have someone like—or
love—you may make you feel tense
and awkward with him. There are
egotists who gratify their vanity by
“turning on the charm" until
they're sure you like them and then
have no further interest in you. But
you're better off than they are in
th* long run since * person who
cannot be hurt cannot be happy,
either.
Farm Plan Issue
Agree..ient by President Truman
and Democratic farm leaders in
congress to a compromise farm
price support measure as advocat-
ed by Sen. Clinton Aanderson of
New Mexico, means that the pro-
gram sponsored by Secretary of
Agriculture Brannan will be a di-
rect issue in the 1950 elections.
The secretary has already warn-
ed congress that the egg price sup-
port alone this fall will cost about
100 million dollars by the end of
the year and so far this year the
government under the present law
ha* taken off the market butter,
eggs, potatoes and cheese costing
about 137 million dollar*.
The thinking here is that with
the late potato crop coming on,
support price* again will soar on
this crop and that with farm prices
dropping, the agricultural depart-
ment soon will be forced to start
buying pork, turkeys and chickens
to hold the price support at th*
parity point required by the law.
Secretary Brannan > maintain* hi*
plan of letting these products find
their own price* on the open mar-
ket, making cheaper prices, will be
cheaper in the long run.

Stable Budpt Urpd
There are still men in congress
who consider the country 1* going
straight to the bow-wows when the
budget is unbalanced and there is
deficit financing.
But when an organization of busi-
ness men such as the Committee of
Economic Development declare
that the annually balanced budget
is a bad thing, that it accentuates
inflation and depressions, it give*
the taxpayer something to think
about.
TT IS DISTINCTLY disheartening
* to find, prominently featured in
a current magazine, an article by
no less an authority than Doctor
David Mace of Drew university,
provocatively entitled “Is Chastity
Outmoded?”
Disheartening, because it seems
to me dishonest to so title an arti-
cle that, after flirting about sug-
gestively among alternatives to
adolescent and youthful chastity,
Doctor Mace come* down to th*
old code, come* down rigidly and
idealistically; sex, he decides,
must be lifted to a high level, must
wait for maturity and marriage,
and be sublimated into true mated
love, the highest happiness man and
woman can know.
We've been patiently preaching
that, we mothers, teachers, guides,
so that, in the end, we have no
quarrel with Doctor Mace. But we
certainly ckn feel small respect for
It seems that the headlines
emanating the “5 per center”
congressional probe are com-
ing from the statements and
questions of the senators con-
ducting the probe and not from
any testimony of facts elicited
from witnesses.
He also eliminate* from hi* analy-
sis—for despite the high moral tone
he develops, it Is an analysis—
these who consider chastity highly
inconvenient and whose policy is
to do a* they like.
This leaves, he says, “the ex-
tremely large third group that lies
between.” Those who “try to add
up the arguments on both sides.”
Doctor Mace states that the tra-
ditional viewpoint is that unchasti-
ty is undesirable because of its ef-
fects on the individual, in terms of
We can see the phone com-
panies’ point. There is not the
money in conversation that
there used to be. It costs twice
as mueh to produce “number
please” as it did 10 years ago.
The companies say they are
losing money on the transac-
tion at nickel pay-station rates.
Nevertheless we look for a hot
time at hearings before the public
' service commissions. Elmer
Twitchell is among those who will
be present with some novel pleas.
"I may not fight the abolition of
the nickel call if the figures show
it is necessary.” he said, “but I
will demand that a 10-cent phone
booth be made twice as roomy as a
nickel one.”
Feint Four Data
•THERE HAS BEEN much dia-
* cuaaion, both in and out of con-
gress about the Preaident’s Point
Four program of help to backward
areas throughout the world, and
incidentally there has been much
misunderstanding and misinforma-
tion concerning the expense in-
volved.
The head of the United Nations
food and agricultural organization,
however, has approached the opera-
tion of the President's program in
a sagacious and common-sense
manner. FAO chief is Norris E.
Dodd, who is said to have turned
down the secretaryship of agricul-
ture to take the United Nations
job.
Dodd is a practical dirt farmer,
a career man in the department of
agriculture for many years and
was boomed for the secretaryship
when Sen. Clinton Anderson re-
signed as secretary. He has just
returned from a world trip investi-
gating the world’s food supply and
much of his time was spent in
these same backward areas where
the Preaident’s Point Four pro-
gram is intended to function.
According to Dodd, it take*
surprisingly little money to get
Mg results, and brains, Inge-
nuity and “know how” will do
the job better than fat hand-
outs from diplomatic scarce*.
Said Dodd: “You don't start with
vast expensive projects in order to
better the lot of hundreds of mil-
lions of people now living near the
starvation line. If we could bring
half the world from the era of the
sickle to the era of thee scythe, we
would have moved ahead a hundred
years in one jump.”
It has seen the 5-cent piece re-
placed in most every field, but
there is something about disassoci-
ating it from a phone booth that
fills many a heart with anguish.
One of the few thing* left in Ameri-
ca at the old price is the nickel
phone booth. It stands almost by
itself as a place * man may enter
without asking, “I wonder how
prices have gone up in here since
I was around last time.”
Can you know a person yea
haven’t lived with?
Answer: You can never “know
all about” anybody under any cir-
cumstances, any more than you can
absolutely know yourself, and how-
ever long you may live with anoth-
er person, you are never wholly
safe against surprises. But day-by-
day contact usually does reveal
sides of anyone's personality which
may not appear if you see him only
occasionally. It’s not just a case
of his being on his best behavior
when he's with you; it’s that when
we are “off guard” (for instance,
at the breakfast table) that we are
prone to unconscious self-revela-

HLL OVER THE WORLD today
determined efforts are being
made by individuals and organiza-
tions to cure and prevent alcohol-
ism. Alcoholism not only ruins the
life of the alcoholic but ruins the
life also of his or her family.
I have spoken before of the ex-
cellent work being done by Alcohol-
ics Anonymous, a group made up
of cured and not entirely cured
alcoholic*. These men and women
lean on, or pray to, a higher power
than themselves and ask to be
given the strength to abstain from
alcohol just one day at a time. The
cured by this organization with
branches everywhere is estimated
at nearly 90 per cent.
I have also mentioned the drug
benzedrine sulfate (amphetamine)
which not only takes away the de-
sire for alcohol, but gives the pa-
tient a boost physically and mental-
ly that tides him over a weak spell
or hangover.
A drug, accidentally discovered
by two Danish physicians, that
takes away the desire for alcohol

unwanted children and
the damage it may do to the com-
munity, making family life and
society unstable.
On the other hand, he admits
o f there is the argument that “to sup-
■ press sex desires makes people
L frustrated and bottled up. To ex-
but training ’ press them leads to growth and
enlargement of the , personality.”
Later, “while in the past full sexual
freedom was impractical because
of the danger of venereal disease
tremendous 1 and illegitimacy, medical science
• has now changed all that.
“Any intelligent youth," says the
doctor in the next sentence, “will
tell you that the doctors have got
V. D. licked.” And later again,
“the man at least can take meas-
ures to protect himself. For the
woman, safeguards are not so easi-
ly available.” But if protective
measures fail, both social diseases
can be cured, he observes.
Choice Of Three
Immunity, however, cannot be
guaranteed. “The boy and girl who
come together sexually, must face
the possibility of pregnancy. If it
occurs,” says the doctor ungram-
matically, “they have three alter-
natives, a forced marriage, an
abortion or an illegitimate child.”
He admits these are negative
arguments for chastity. But he
feels that the future may see them
weakened, or even entirely neutral-
ized. “Someday,” he says, "vener-
eal disease may be stamped out
and a completely reliable contra-
ceptive put at everyone’s disposal.
Will chastity be outmoded then?”
Doctor Mace goes on to a "criti-
cal question.” At what point is it
appropriate for a young couple to
have sexual relations when their
intention is to marry? As soon as
they know they are serious in the
intention to marry, or not until
they actually are wed?
On this point, says the doctor,
there is a strong difference of opin-
ion. How can they know that they
are sexually well matched unless
they test out this side of their re-
lationship in advance?
And anxious to be fair to this
argument, he cites the case of a
man who could not decide between
two women Whom he regarded as
possible wives. It may be satis-
factory to the doctor for them to
"test” for compatibility.
Nothing is said of the degrada-
tion of the women who submitted
to his “process,” of the insolent
stupidity of the man experimenter,
or of the insult offered all decent
women who read this article.
But in the end. after some con-
fused floundering, Doctor, Mace
comes gravely and decorously to
the conclasion that "the whole
trend of expert opinion today is
toward regarding sexual harmony
as a function of good personal in-
teraction."
This is a scientific way of Baying
they are humans.
